Adding to the dulcimer repertoire. Contains POLL!

I'm trying to add some more songs with the mountain dulcimer to my repertoire. Songs that I have done in the past with this instrument include The Shirt of Lace, (assuming I can find the chords) and The Scarlet Tide, which I first heard in the film Cold Mountain.

So, I'm trying to figure out which one (or two, or three, or half-dozen) songs I should work on next with the dulcimer.

And so, here's a poll!

Or if it isn't it should be. Though, in these days of cuts and threatened privatisation, it's more like a political lack of movement.

I love Dancing at Whitsun. I have a recording of it by Steeleye Span (but it's not a very famous one), and I filked it once (but no-one recognised the original, the filk went down like a lead balloon and I've never sung it since). You'd do it wonderfully.

I didn't realise Steleye Span had recorded it. The only copy of it I've ever had was on my myseriously-lost-around-the-time-of-my-divorce (funny how that kept happening) copy of Maddy Prior's solo CD Summer Solstice.
